Yes I am saying that someone earning more than the average wage should not be getting a non-means tested benefit.
That money should be targetted at children for whom it would make a difference.
As stated earlier, a country that is paying out more social benefits than it raises in income tax, will soon be in no position to help those people who really do need state assistance.
Having generations who decide they want to procreate, and stay at home and not work, whilst an ever dwindling workforce pays for them to do so, is wrong, and in the long term unsustainable, and the real poor and needy will suffer as a consequence.
